My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 1024

[Chapter 995 One Hundred Articles]

The next morning, Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Outside the door of Prince Yu’s wing, a servant was standing there with his hands raised, hesitating.

“Dang Dang~”

Finally, he knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

Prince Yu’s somewhat impatient voice came out. He came back very late from playing outside last night. If there was nothing else to do in the morning, he would most likely have slept until after six o’clock.

As a servant of Prince Yu’s Mansion, he naturally knew that Crown Prince Yu was the most irritable when he slept in. It would be dangerous to disturb him at this time.

“Your Majesty, the Master of Quzhuang is asking for an audience outside the door!”

“Didn’t you tell him that this prince is resting?”

Prince Yu thought something big was going on. When he heard that it was the Master of Quzhuang, his voice dropped.

“Your Majesty, Master Qu said there is something urgent and he cannot delay for a moment. It seems to be about the Zhou family’s cloth shop…”

“Ask him to wait in the front hall!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The servant wiped his sweat and hurriedly Retired.

After a while, the neatly dressed Prince Yu appeared in the front hall, and the owner of Quzhuang ran over directly.

“The prince is in trouble! The price of cotton-padded clothes in Zhoujia Cloth Shop has been reduced, and it’s fifty cents lower than ours! Now many people have gathered around!”

Upon hearing this, Prince Yu’s face changed slightly.

“Are you sure the price has been reduced by fifty cents?”

“Your Majesty, I asked my servants to inquire once. I was worried, so I went to confirm it myself. The price was indeed reduced by fifty cents!”

“Is there anything strange in their cloth shop?”

The owner of Quzhuang thought for a while and said: “There is nothing strange, except that there are fewer people in the cloth workshop than before, there are only three people. However, considering that Zhoujia cloth workshop has been out of business recently, the three people In fact, there are quite a few.”

Prince Yu nodded and asked, “Is it only the Zhoujia Bufang main store that has reduced its prices?”

“In addition to the main store, the prices of Xifang and Beifang have also been reduced!” , what should we do? Originally, when Qujia Cloth Shop opened in the morning, many people would come to buy clothes. Now because of the price reduction at Zhoujia Cloth Shop, these people have all gone to Zhoujia Cloth Shop! If things go on like this, Zhoujia Bufang’s business will probably revive again!”

Owner Qu’s worries are not unreasonable.

Before selling cotton clothes, there were not many people in Qujia Cloth Shop. People in Ruzhou were used to going to Zhoujia Cloth Shop to buy clothes, so even though the quality of clothes from the two companies was similar, no one came to Qujia Cloth Shop.

Later, through selling low-priced cotton-padded clothes, the people of Ruzhou City gradually became familiar with Qujia Cloth Store, and also formed the habit of coming to Qujia Cloth Store to buy clothes.

But if Zhoujia Bufang passes the price reduction and pulls the common people back, this habit that has been cultivated with great difficulty will be in vain, so the owner of Quzhuang is worried.

Prince Yu was pacing back and forth, but there was no urgency on his face.

“According to the emperor’s uncle, the Zhou family spent a lot of money to buy cotton from him. Plus the handicraft fee, in fact, the Zhou family cloth shop’s cotton clothes can’t earn much even if they sell them for 500 coins, let alone if they sell them for 100 coins now. Fifty coins, even if they sell them for three hundred and fifty coins, they will actually lose money!”

“Then they are broken?”

Prince Yu nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, their cotton and cotton clothes are broken.

The backlog in the warehouse cannot be sold, and other clothes cannot be produced and sold normally. If things go on like this, the Zhou family cloth shop will collapse. They have thought about this clearly, so even if they lose money, they must clear out these backlogs of cotton-padded clothes. They will sell other clothes in the space! And they deliberately set the price fifty cents cheaper than us, just to take back the customers!”

The owner of the store became anxious after hearing this.

Although Zhoujia Cloth Shop is losing money selling cotton-padded clothes, once they clean up all the cotton-padded clothes and attract customers back, the business will slowly improve. It may take a long time to make back the money they lost, but It won’t go bankrupt!

“Your Majesty, we can’t let her succeed!”

Master Qu said worriedly.

Prince Yu smiled and said: “I can’t make her feel comfortable. Didn’t she lower the price? Then let’s lower the price too, and see if she can lower the price better than us!”

After hearing this, the owner of Quzhuang was quite excited. His original intention was also to lower the price, because he You know, their cotton-padded clothes don’t have much cost price, and in order to bring down Zhoujia Cloth Factory, they can ignore the cost!

So he immediately asked: “Your Majesty, how much should we lower the price?”

“Aren’t they deliberately lower than us by fifty cents? Then let’s do the same as them and see how they react!”

“Okay, then one hundred cents!”

The owner of Quzhuang was very excited. In fact, when he heard the price reduction at Zhoujia Cloth Factory, his reaction was to follow the price reduction as well.

However, although he is the official boss of Qujia Buzhuang, he still has to listen to Crown Prince Yu on major matters, especially dealing with Zhou Jia Bufang is Crown Prince Yu’s idea.

“Your Majesty, I’ll go back to Buzhuang

first!” “Okay, if there is any news, let me know as soon as possible!”

“Yes!”

After the master of Quzhuang answered, he went back without stopping.

…

At this time, it was very hot outside the Zhoujia Bufang main store.

Zhou Ziqiong looked through the curtain and did not enter the main store.

Ever since Zhoujia Cloth Shop put up a price reduction sign on cotton-padded clothes in the morning, there have been more and more customers outside the door. Many people have come in to ask if it is really that cheap. After all, Qujia Cloth Shop’s cotton-padded clothes are cheap enough, and Zhoujia Cloth Shop’s cotton-padded clothes are cheap enough. However, the cotton-padded clothes at Jiabufang are fifty cents cheaper than those at Qujiabuzhuang!

However, because the cotton-padded clothes in Qujia Cloth Store were so cheap before, all those who had money to buy cotton-padded clothes had basically bought them in Qujia Cloth Store, so there was no shortage of cotton-padded clothes at this time. I heard that Zhoujia Cloth Factory had reduced its prices. Come join in the fun.

As for those people who were nervous about money and were still hesitating to buy cotton-padded clothes before, after seeing that Zhoujia Cloth Shop was fifty cents cheaper than Qujia Cloth Shop, some of them gritted their teeth and bought it without mercy.

As for those who don’t have much money at all, even if a cotton coat costs 150 yuan, they still can’t afford it, but they still stand outside the door to see if it can be cheaper.

However, there were still many people buying. At this time, she finally understood why Jing Zhe only left three clerks in the store.

Because they lowered the price just to force Qujia Cloth Store to lower the price, they did not really sell cotton-padded clothes. They cost 150 yuan a piece. If you sell one piece, you will get one piece, so naturally you can’t sell more.

The advantage of having only three people in the store is that they have to sell cotton-padded clothes and pay the bills, so they are simply too busy. Therefore, even though there are many people entering the store, not many cotton-padded clothes are actually sold.

There are still many people squeezing in outside the cloth shop, and many people are shouting that the efficiency of Zhoujia Cloth Factory is too low, and it is really inferior compared to their competitor Qujia Cloth Factory.
